Topic: Please pray for us ;( (Read 1378 times)

I would like to please ask you to pray for me and my mother Maria. Please pray that God will protect her at all times. Our family has been through a lot of pain, and never felt much happiness apart from the love within the family, and hope we have in Jesus Christ. I lately see bad dreams that something bad may happen to her, or my family. Please please, pray for her. Her name is Maria. We are also being threatened by the bank for seizure of our home, and have nowhere to go.

Even if we have thousands of acts of great virtue to our credit, our confidence in being heard must be based on God's mercy and His love for men. Even if we stand at the very summit of virtue, it is by mercy that we shall be saved.

Conquer evil men by your gentle kindness, and make zealous men wonder at your goodness. Put the lover of legality to shame by your compassion. With the afflicted be afflicted in mind. Love all men, but keep distant from all men.—St. Isaac of Syria
